Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

May 24, 2011

In generations past, a father who sent his teenage girl to the prom may have been worried that her date would take advantage of her on the way home. Today, parents should be more concerned about the prospect of their daughters being molested by adult strangers on the way to the dance.

Two prom-bound sisters from Santa Fe, New Mexico were groped by school security officers outside the ballroom. After they filed a lawsuit, a federal judge issued an injunction requiring that a ?certified TSA screener? supervise hands-on searches of students attending the prom at a separate Santa Fe High School. The Transportation Security Administration, which presides over the ritual humiliation of innocent passengers at airports, is notorious for hiring and retaining people of dubious character, including sex offenders.

As it turned out, the students had to settle for being molested under the supervision of officers from the State Highway Patrol.

Annette Fuentes, author of a new book entitled Lockdown High, points out that government schools ?have come to resemble places of detention more than places of learning.? How can any rational person dispute that assessment?

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
